My DD (15 mo) was diagnosed w/ croup & we have a script for prednisone ... what are the pros/cons to starting her on this ??:
Last night was the first onset of it & wasnt too bad. Tonight my DH may be forcing me to give it to her!

My 7yo has been on prednisone off and on for most of his life. Pros are that it allows him to breathe easily, without wheezing, and it increases his appetite lol. If it's a short term course of pred, I'd go ahead and give it; most of the cons come with long term usage.
